Veseli se, majko Bozja

Veseli se, majko Bozja
puna milosti
Veseli se i raduj se
rajska svjetlosti

Jer si nocas porodila
svojim mlijekom podojila
Boga malahana
veseli se, jer kako si vazda zelila

Od sveg srce sto si Boga
uvijek molila
djevicom si vazda bila
djevicom si porodila Boga nasega

Vesel'mo se i mi braco
ovdje zajedno
al' veselje neka nase
bude pravedno

Svi se grijeha odrecimo
te srdacno utecimo
Bogu rodjeno
